Docker Swarm Load Balancing with NGINX and NGINX Plus At nginx.conf 2016 in Austin this September, I gave a presentation on using NGINX and NGINX Plus in a Docker Swarm cluster. In this post I discuss how to use NGINX and NGINX Plus for Docker Swarm load balancing in conjunction with the features introduced in Docker 1.12. All files I used during my demo at nginx.conf (and more) are available on GitHub for you to experiment with. Overview Docker version 1.12, released in late July 2016, integrates Docker Engine and Swarm and adds some new orchestration features, to create a platform similar to other container platforms such as Kubernetes. In Docker 1.12, Swarm Mode allows you to combine a set of Docker hosts into a swarm, providing a fault‑tolerant, self‑healing, decentralized architecture. The new platform also makes it easier to set up a Swarm cluster, secures all [ more… ]

Extending User Control of Flash with Click-to-Run

2016-12-15 KENNETH 0

Extending User Control of Flash with Click-to-Run Adobe Flash has been an integral part of the web for decades, enabling rich content and animations in browsers since before HTML5 was introduced. In modern browsers, web standards pioneered by Microsoft, Adobe, Google, Apple, Mozilla, and many others are now enabling sites to exceed those experiences without Flash and with improved performance and security. Starting in the Anniversary Edition of Windows 10, we began to give users more control over Flash by selectively pausing certain Flash content, like ads, that were not central to the page. In our next release, we will extend this functionality and encourage the transition to HTML5 alternatives by providing additional user control over when Flash content loads. Windows Insiders will be able to try an early implementation of this feature soon in upcoming preview builds. The user [ more… ]
